A propos de cet article

First Edition (SD). As you can see from the photos, the covers are in very nice condition, quite clean (just a few light inconspicuous spots) and pretty much free of any wear. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. So is the spine. The lettering on the front cover looks like gilt and then looks like silver depending upon how you angle it. I'm guessing that was intended as a metaphor on changing time zones in relationship to position/place. Does the same thing on the spine. Anyway the interchangeable gilt and silver coloring is quite bright. When you open up the book you will see the bookplate of J. T. Fraser who had a few things to say about time and owned quite a few books on the subject (check out the others that he owned and I've placed for sale). Here's a little bit about Dr. Fraser from the first paragraph of his Wikipedia profile: 'J. T. Fraser (1923-2010) made important scholarly contributions to the interdisciplinary Study of Time and was a founding member of the International Society for the Study of Time. His work has strongly influenced thinking about the nature of time across the disciplines from physics to sociology, biology to comparative religion, and he was a seminal figure in the general interdisciplinary study of temporality.' If you keep reading his Wikipedia profile you'd better have a scholarly background in concepts of time, heady stuff. On a more mundane plane (but still quite important), the interior of the book is in just as nice condition as the covers. The pages are exceptionally clean (I saw only a few specks) and have little to no wear, the tip of three or four top corners have a tiny crease. There are no turned-down corners creases or placeholder creases. There are no markings. The bookplate is the only attachment. It's on the front inside cover. It has a few tan spots (see photo). There is a fold-out double-sided color map. One side is titled Standard Time Zones of the World. The other is titled USSR: Time Zones. It's in very nice shape, no tears. It does have a little bit of amber spotting, not too conspicuous and only on the blank white margins. I should mention that there's a light amount of tiny dust stains on the page edges. However I didn't see any of it migrating onto the actual pages. On the rear inside cover there are three red letters just off the top edge. Looks like IDX, no idea what that means. Dr. Fraser did not write anything in the text of this book, which I guess means they got everything right. Forgot to mention the binding. It's excellent. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. From the Introduction: 'International Time Tables makes it possible to determine time relationships of places around the world and to visualize those time relationships over the spectrum of a full day. The tables are structured to provide time in both the 12- and 24-hour forms of notation. For places that observe Advanced Time, also known as Daylight Savings Time or Summer Time, separate tables are given for each period of the year. For places with multiple time zones, separate sets of tables are given for each time zone. The effect of the International Dateline on time relationships is also taken into account.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
